DAREDEVIL #33

Its a little known fact that monsters, gremlins, and ghouls, originally originated from a series of scientific experiments carried out sometime in November, 2013. Yeah. Straight up! I'm not flicking your switch, pal. I saw it in this bloodstained adventure created by the one and only Mark Waid, Chris Samnee; plus the Publisher: Marvel Comics.

Using GENERAL terms,
answer the following 4 questions about this STORY entitled 'Monster Mash'.

WHAT'S
THE MAIN THRUST OF THIS TALE: As soon as the Monster Squad brings him back
from to life, Daredevil follows their instructions, and attempts to snatch
away the Darkhold ledger away from Satan himself.

ARE
THE MAIN OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED: Well, let's just say that a snake in the
grass doesn't help matters much, OK? Apart from that, though -- yeah --everything
seems to turn out pretty hunky dory.

ANYTHING
ELSE HAPPEN: Matt has a dream about him and Foggy stranded on a desert
island together. Ahhh. Bless him.

HOW
DOES THIS STORY END: With a fire paving the way for next issues showdown
between two horn-headed deviants.

All in all, what is
the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue?

Picture the scene. Daredevil is traipsing through the
underground, following his way to parts unknown, when suddenly, he says to
himself...

'I'm so far out of my
wheelhouse I might as well be on the moon'.

Ha! What a clown. Plus I did love the use of the word 'wheelhouse'
myself. I thought that was very down to earth.

What are the BEST
bits about this issue?

(+) Monsters. Monsters. Monsters. Who in their right mind
don't love a monster? Especially a sixty's styled one! Not physically of
course. No. That would be... err... most unhinged. What I'm talking about
folks, is... well... you know what I'm talking about! Love a monster. Love this
book.

(+) Wasn't it a nice little surprise when Matt revealed he subconsciously
saw Foggy as his Dad's old greengrocer? I mean, its little tit-bits like these
that make this series very personal in tone, and very associative by nature.
Good job.

(+) OK. So this Darkhold scrapbook was the first book ever
written, and it's basically a 'how to' guide in creating monsters and goblins.
Fair enough. Sounds reasonable I suppose. Plus goes to show what they did back
in the day when they didn't have ebay, Ha!

(+) As much as I loved following the devilish conceit behind
this adventure -- especially that scene where Daredevil goes toe to toe with a
snake in paradise -- in the same breath, I wasn't quite sure about the story's
conclusion myself. A part of me enjoyed its abrupt brashness, whilst another
part of me wasn't too keen on its 'quick fix' nature. Hmmm. 50 / 50 at best.

What are the WORST
bits about this issue?

(-) The only thing about this adventure I wasn't too keen
on, would have to be that scene where Matt threatened Garth, so the rest of the
Monster Squad could aide him in recovering the Darkhold ledger. Hey! They just
brought him back from the dead for crying out loud! Couldn't he have taken a
few deep breaths before he jumped right back into the breach? Tut-tut-tut, Matty my boy. Courteously costs
nothing you know. Ha!

Choose TWO CHARACTERS
out of this comic book, and then compare them to FRUIT.

A RASPBERRY AS DAREDEVIL: Now everybody knows that carrots
are supposed to be good for your eyes, but did you know that raspberries are
too? Yeah. Straight up. A prune told me.

A PRUNE AS THE SNAKE: Hey! Don't grown! What other fruit do
you know, can make you sh*t your own pants?

What QUOTE would be
appropriate to sum-up this story?

'Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole.
Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in' -- Billy Sunday

What SONG,
THEME-TUNE, or MELODY, would complement this tale, as well as add and extra
dimension to it by default?

BOBBY 'BORIS' PICKETT & THE CRYPTKICKERS WITH THE 'MONSTER
MASH': Damn it. I had to compare this story to this song, didn't I? I wanted to
resist. Honestly I did. But come off it. They both share the same f*cking name!
So what choice did I have?

ANYTHING Else?

Hello, darlingsssss. I'm the ssssnake. The sssaid sssame
sssnake that tempted Matt in this very isssssssue of 'Daredevil'. It wasn't
very easssy you know. Tempting Matt in the manner I did. Beforehand I had to do
a bit of resssssearch on the internet, just ssso I could find out what he hated
more than life itsssssself. And do you know what I disssscovered, my friend? I disssscovered
that Matt...

Hate's
any film ssscore created by Danny Elfam, becausssse he ssssays they all
sssound the bloody ssssame.

Frownsssss
upon the idea of paying taxesss. But who doesn't?

Laughed
his ass off when he discovered that Ben Affleck was going to play Batman
in the up and coming Man
of Steel sssssequel. God only knows why though? Maybe it's because of the
association.

Love's
the ssssound of otters jumping for joy on a trampoline, becaussse it
reminds him of having sssssex with Electra.

Smiled
at the sssound of Kim Kardashian ass-checks wobbling in the new Kanye West
music video. Well, it was better than the ssssong, huh?

Anyway. That's enough of my sssssh*t for this month,
folksssssss. All I have left to sssssay is that this issssue of Daredevil
reminded me of a cat wearing a pair of boxing glovessss. Nice to look at. Funny
to box. And at the end of the day packssss one hell of a punch.
